movement of flank 15 - 20 /minute Early in the morning !

-_____________ injections are given behind the elbow joint and in front of the shoulders -Pull out the skin, forming a tent -Insert needle just through the skin and administer drug

subcutaneous

Does vaccinated for ______________ 2 to 4 weeks before kidding

tetanus

Give ____________ at the time of banding if the does are not vaccinated, and a _____________ a week later.

tetanus antitoxin toxoid

True or False? Spending a few minutes every day learning the normal behavior and attitude of your goats or sheep is very important.

true The person that feeds them and watching them is critical. If they don't come up to you, you have a problem. They have very subtle changes to indicate they're sick. Once they start showing clinical signs, it's bad. They're not taken to the vet unless they're dieing. A downer sheep/goat is a dead sheep/goat. The person feeding them noticing them not coming up to them or to eat will first notice they're injured or sick.

Identification

- ear tagging (RFID tags-permanent) - Tattooing - Ear notching

Disbudding Dairy Kids

-10-14 days -Make sure the mother was vaccinated for tetanus during the last 3-4 weeks so she can pass the ABs onto the kid so they don't get tetanus from dehorning -Vaccinated for tetanus-doe (2-4 weeks prior to kidding) -Sedation?

Disbudding older kids: Anesthesia

-Can use nerve blocks-2 nerves supply each horn -Gas anesthesia through a mask-not during actual procedure of using disbudding iron, as a flash fire could result -Xylazine/ketamine -In great Britain it is required by law for heavy sedation or general anesthesia

Disbudding Equipment

-Disbudding iron -Scissors or clippers -Antiseptic -Fly repellant -Restraint technique-hold between legs or use a disbudding box

Docking using a scalpel blade, knife or emasculator

-Find junction of caudal fold at the underside of the tail -Pull skin towards obdy so it remains to cover dock -Cut between vertebra -Make a clean cut-will heal faster -Apply 7% iodine solution

Dehorning Kids>4 weeks of age

-Kids>4 weeks of age disbudding is not very successful (remember the frontal sinus comes up into the horn in the goat) -Deep sedation -Pain medication -Sutures are necessary to close the sinus

Docking Post-Procedure

-Place lambs in pens with clean bedding -Tetanus injection can be given -Heat lamps should be used in cold weather -Don't overcrowd lambs as can contribute to disease outbreak

Why disbud?

-Prevent injury from herd mates fighting -Prevent owner/handler injury -For show purposes, dairy goats to be registered must be dehorned -Prevent destruction of fences, facilities etc. -Less chance the goat will get caught or hung in a fence -Prevent odor to the milk (bc also trying to burn off the scent glands)

How to use the disbudding iron

-Put disbudding iron on the horn for 5-10 seconds -Skin separation and there is a copper colored groove all the way around, and the skin separated from the base of the horn. -If bud is only partially destroyed will have a horn "scur" grow

Wattle removal

-Wattles are frequently found hanging from necks of goats -are nonfunctional -can be a source of injury to the animal and possible site of infection -kids may suck on them causing infection as well -Removal --hold the animal --disinfect the area at the thinnest point of the wattle --disinfect blades of surgical scissors --local anesthesia --pull on wattle and snip at the thinnest point --disinfect wound --usually little or no bleeding

Age to perform disbudding

-Within first 2 weeks of life (he likes to sedate a little after 2 weeks) -European breeds 5-7 days of age -For large buck kids 3-5 days of age -Sedation and nerve blocks are done >2 weeks of age -Cornual nerve block -Lidocaine 2%-20 mg/mL -Lidocaine toxicity! (5 mg/kg) -Meloxican-15 mg pill-half a pill

Life span = 8-12 years Blood volume = 7% of body weight Pack cell volume = 30-35% RBC = 12-16 x 106/mm3 WBC = 6-15 x 103/mm3 Neutrophils = _______________ % Lymphocytes = _____________ %

25-50 50-75 Only thing need to remember is lymphocytes is greater than neutrophils. Opposite in dogs

-Removal of horn buds from very young kids-usually dairy animals -Meat goats not usually dehorned -Range animals need horns for protection -Also helpful in restraint in meat goats -Want to do when very young (10-15 days)

Disbudding

-Removal of the tail in lambs -Dock refers to the part of the tail remaining

Docking

Why do you do smart drenching. What is smart drenching?

Drenching and dosing ┬иAdministering liquids ┬иHold head in your arm and open the mouth by grasping the mandible behind the incisors. ┬иInsert syringe or drenching gun over the back of the tongue (generally use with anthelmintic) ┬иPour liquid in slowly to allow animal to swallow ┬иSmart drenching He suggests non injectable dewormers because of antibiotic resistance. If put in the front they'll spit it out. When babies are born, they're monogastric. They have esophageal groove. In some animals when they get older, that'll still be there. Then if bring to the front, it might go straight to the abomasum and will get metabolized too fast to be affective.

Castration - surgical ┬иYoung kids - __________weeks old True or False? Usually done with anesthesia. Why? ┬бOlder kids and adults - ___________+______________ injected into the testicles ┬бWash scrotal area ┬бRemove bottom _________ of scrotum with a clean blade ┬бPull down each testicle, one at a time, by separating the cremaster muscle until ______________ breaks. ┬бRemove the testicle. Repeat on the other testicle. ┬бAntiseptic and fly spray applied. ┬бPain medication - _______________ ┬бAntibiotics

< 2 False, ┬бUsually done with no anesthesia. Anesthetic risk. ┬бThey are able to tolerate pain or their pain receptors have not fully developed Sedation lidocaine 1/3 spermatic cord meloxican

Identification- Ear notching

Add up. Take home is different from pigs.

Dehorning adult goats ┬и______________________considerations ┬иNot recommended for ____________________ bucks

Castration - Elastrator band ┬и______________ - Is a bloodless method ┬иCuts off blood supply, testes and scrotum will slough off in ___________ days-don't get too close to the body wall, otherwise might get __________ ┬иDairy kids _________ weeks old (not with mom) ┬иMeat / fiber kids ___________ weeks (___________________months ) ┬и_____________ weeks of age pain meds needed ┬иNeed to check animals as infection of scrotum could occur -make sure to get both ____________

Banding 10 тЦ║ 14 penis < 2 2 - 4 3 - 4 > 4 testicles

Dock when?

Before 2 weeks of age -amputate tail between vertebra at end of caudal folds -if docked too short females could be prone to rectal prolapse in the future from damage to nerves in the perineal area -few blood vessels and nerves in this area

Is a quick easy method of describing how thin or fat goats are, using a numerical score from 1 to 5. A goat may be give a half score, such as 2.5, if it is between BCS 2 and BCS 3. Assigning a BCS cannot be done by looking at the goat, one must feel for muscle and fat cover. An appropriate BCS range for goats is from BCS 2 to BCS 4, as seen on the reverse side. Goats that are too thin (BCS 1) may have nutritional or health problems reducing productivity. Overly fat goats (BCS 5) have reduced fertility, increased birthing problems, and health problems. BCS is commonly assessed in the loin area. Feel the amount of tissue covering the ends of the spinous and transverse processes of the vertebrae. Feel any loin muscles and fat filling the space between the backbone and horizontal bones. In very thin goats the bones can feel "sharp". As the animal gains condition, the thicker tissue covering makes the bone ends feel more rounded and smooth .

Body condition score

Castration - ___________ clamp ┬иDoes not involve cutting ┬иIs bloodless so less chance of infection and fly strike ┬иCrushes spermatic cord ┬иRestraint animal and manipulate testes down into the scrotum and get cord between fingers ┬иPlace (answer 1) on the spermatic cord on one side, ┬иDon't go down the midline ┬иEnsure that the spermatic cord is in jaws and close ┬иHold for 15 - 20 seconds and repeat 1 cm apart ┬иPerform on both sides ┬иMake sure they are vaccinated for tetanus ┬иEvaluate after 1 month to ensure that testicles have atrophied

Burdizzo

Docking using a _______________ -Also used for castration to crush spermatic cord -Place on tail and close handles -Cut off tail inside of clamp -Leave for 5-10 seconds to stop bleeding -Apply 7% iodine solution -Doesn't work on large lambs>4 weeks of age -These clamps may be damaged by use for docking and shouldn't then be used for castration

Burdizzo

-Done to prevent unwanted breeding -Reduce undesirable odors and aggressive behavior in meat goats -Improve meat flavor in goats kept past puberty -Should take place as early as possible -Most castration done at 2-4 weeks of age -Castrating>4 months of age decreases incidence of urinary calculi (like for show animals that are fed a lot of concentrates to get them fat-> not castrating until they get bigger could potentially help prevent urinary calculi)

Castration

-Usually done within a month -give tetanus antitoxin-doe or ewe not vaccinated in the last 2-4 weeks of gestation -Pain meds! -Is bloodless method -Cuts off blood supply, testes and scrotum will slough off in 10-14 days -Need to check animal as infection of scrotum could occur

Castration - Elastrator band

Dehorning box

Dairy goats will be dehorned. Lot of them have scent glands at the base of the horn, and you don't want those sent glands.

Aging of Goats

Dental formula = 0 0 3 3 4 0 3 3 0/4 incisors, 3/3 pre-molars, 3/3 molars. The first number in each formula represents how many sets of teeth are on the upper jaw; the second number indicates how many sets of teeth are on the lower jaw. For example, the 0/4 means that sheep/goats have no upper incisors, but have 4 sets of lower incisors (8 lower incisors in all). Most of the time the dental formula looks like this 2 (0/4 incisors, 3/3 pre-molars, 3/3 molars) = 32. No upper incisors, no canines -look at the gumline, if it's recessing the animal is older (also use common sense and look at the animal)

Disbudding iron Leave in ____________ seconds each time and do it _______________ times.

a few 3 or 4

The most common health problem for sheep and goats are _______________________. ┬и(answer 1) have a drastic effects on sheep and goats. ┬иThey do have some effect on cattle. ┬иThis means that by grazing cattle after sheep and goats the cattle will ____________________________________

internal parasite infection remove (by eating) the internal parasite larvae from the pasture, thus "cleaning" the pasture. ┬иThus rotating cattle and small ruminants will minimize the parasite load in the pasture.

________________ injections: -jugular vein is the best site -pressure applied at the bottom of the jugular groove with your thumb, should see vein bulge proximally

Turn white worry. Allergies/dusty barn-wet area in the medial canthus, pay attention. If one eye, two eyes. ┬иEye sight-running into objects Goats are very picky eaters, and prefer not to eat hay or feed that is 'dirty' or old. Have to change their feed out daily, and also their water. ALSOтАФfeeding them off of the ground helps to minimize the number of parasites they pick up. Pay attention to the one not coming up -Appetite -Feces -Respiration/cough -Grunting -Grinding their teeth -Discharge: nasal, ocular or vaginal -Eye sight -Body Condition -Gait -Lameness -Movement -Swelling -Bloat (will be on the left side, if on both sides GI is possibly involved or enterotoxemia) Picture: Swollen joints, not putting weight on all four->CPE

Paste Administration

┬иDewormers, rumen pastes, etc. ┬иRestraint the animal as for balling and insert end of tube into mouth and squeeze an appropriate number of clicks to administer a pre-determined dose

Bolus Administration "Balling"

┬иFor administration of pills or boluses ┬иUse a "balling gun" ┬иLubricate bolus ┬иPut bolus in gun and insert gun to the rear of the mouth while tilting the animal's head upwards, depress plunger and hold mouth shut to facilitate swallowing

Tubing an animal

┬иHold the head in your arm and open the mouth. ┬иCheck depth. Place tube outside of the animal from the mouth to inside the rumen, make a mark on the tube, then insert the tube to that mark ┬иPlace the speculum ┬иInsert tube through the speculum in back of the mouth and down the esophagus ┬иAdminister liquid solution slowly (Precautions) ┬бEnsure you enter the esophagus, the tube can either be seen or felt through the throat. Check for smell of rumen fluid. -remember to use the right size tube
